The Alaska Reference Database originated as the standalone Alaska Fire Effects Reference Database, a ProCite reference database maintained by former BLM-Alaska Fire Service Fire Ecologist Randi Jandt. It was expanded under a Joint Fire Science Program grant for the FIREHouse project (The Northwest and Alaska Fire Research Clearinghouse). It is now maintained by the Alaska Fire Science Consortium and FRAMES, and is hosted through the FRAMES Resource Catalog. The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Spontaneous and piloted ignition of pine needles

Stockstad
Spontaneous and piloted ignition of ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Laws.) needles were investigated in an isothermal atmosphere. Four levels of sample moisture content were tested and minimum heat flux intensities required to produce ignition, times to ignition, and surface…

The natural resources decision-maker as political and economic man: toward a synthesis

Alston, Freeman
This paper examines two sets of decision rules for planning-the economic benefit-cost analysis and the sociological approach-and points the way toward a useful integration. A synthesis provides the means, both conceptual and practical, to aid the decision-maker in selecting…

Recording wind velocity, direction, and temperature in fires by logarithmic technique

Palmer, Auvil
Wind velocity, direction, and temperatures can vary drastically before, during, and after wild or prescribed fires. A data-recording system based on the logarithmic character of semiconductors has been developed for observing turbulent fluctuations from the mean in ratio form.…

Effects of burrow collapse on stress and immune responsiveness of gopher tortoises [abstract]

Kahn, Balbach, Guyer, Mendonca, Beauman
The gopher tortoise is federally listed in the western portion of its range, and a species of concern elsewhere. In both populations, the need to relocate animals whose burrows are threatened by development is common. Different practices for relocation have been studied, but…
